While in the past year we have seen a slew of new pay transparency laws come into effect, there appears to be no slow down on the horizon.
Several state legislatures will be considering passing or enhancing such laws this year as well including:
- Connecticut (An Act Concerning the Disclosure of Salary Ranges in Job Postings: C G A – Connecticut General Assembly),
- Massachusetts (An Act Relative to Pay Range Disclosure: Bill S.1191),
- Montana (Wage Opportunity and Transparency Act: https://archive.legmt.gov/bills/2023/lchtml/LC4215.htm), and
- West Virginia (Katherine Johnson and Dorothy Vaughan Fair Pay Act: HB 2626 Text).
Be on the lookout for additional legislative activity on this front as the 2023 sessions hit their stride, and, of course, reach out to counsel with any questions about current or pending pay transparency laws in the states where your business operates.
